Abstract
The invention concerns a wiper device comprising at least a plate guiding in rotation and fixing a shaft extending axially (X—X) outwards by its free end wherein the plate comprises a stem in which the driving shaft is guided in rotation and a transverse sole plate for fixing it on the vehicle body via a shock-absorbing unit. The invention is characterized in that the shock-absorbing unit is mounted in a housing matching the sole plate partially open along a direction substantially parallel to the driving shaft axis (X—X) to enable, in case of a violent impact, the shock-absorbing unit to be released from its housing thereby causing the axial retraction of the sole plate, the guide stem and the driving shaft.
